The reason I haven't used mazuri yet is partly because I have experienced a lot of success feeding my reptiles a diet of greens and vegetables. I only have five tortoises so I don't have any real data to provide, but the growth rates I've seen with my russians far surpass any others I've read. Particularly my hold back that just turned 1 year of age (friday before thanksgiving) and is just a hair over 4" SCL with no pyramiding. I'm hoping it'll be a large female like the mother. That tortoise has not been fed a varied diet. She mostly eats dandelion greens, romaine, and whatever else is available, dusted once or twice a week with calcium w/d3 and kept without a UV bulb. She's taught me the importance of environmental factors. If what you say is true, I would be interested to see what her growth would do if I were to give her some mazuri.
I don't understand, however, why you are so eager for everyone else to use mazuri. I'm sure it's a great product, but I am more than satisfied with the results I get by feeding greens/veggies (plus fruit and meat for the redfoot).
